wtf

OMG ITS EVERYWHERE! D:

ALL IN THE CLASSROOM TOO!!!

IT WAS DIARRHEA

Explosive...diahhrea. and it still smells like poo in Chernobyl.

Torn between creepy and interesting XD

Yeah, I find this pretty creepy, in the way that it's meant to reassure little kids about.. something that may well kill them.

O.o???

It's meant to explain to little kids what is going on at Fukushima Daiichi.

riiiiiiiiight... *backs away slowly*

Oh, so that's what happening!

poop.







EVERYWHERE D:

Poop that will make you sick and give you cancer for centuries to come!

AKA smelly

Nuclear boy held it in as long as he could, but…　どーん

Oh boy, this is like something YOU would write about :P

heh!

Culturally for Japan, this is a pretty smart way to explain it to the young'uns. Of course we think it weird and creepy, but its not our culture.

I found "Potty time with Bear" from the Bear in the blue house - or whatever the name is exactly of the show, more creepy in a way, but it made more sense culturally to approach it that way in North America.

America has Duck and Cover.
England has When the Wind Blows.
Now Japan has Nuclear Boy.

The world needs more creepy animations about nuclear technology.

DO a search for "Jack mack and rad boy" - prolly a spelling difference in the name. It was a very old video piece that appeared in the 80s or so. it was shown between videos on USA networks NightFlight (they did music videos late at night back when the whole music video craze was popular) - but had did a whole six hours of it one night in a piece called "Atomic Television" so all the vids were related,to nuclear devastation as well as all the filler material between them, like Jack Mac, and "duck nd cover" educational film pieces, etc.

Im to this day trying to find a video of that whole segment of NightFlight. It had some epic stuff.

Found it.

Well, this is a good way to explain the kids! Except my little sister already knows about nuclear consequences.

Still, it's pretty funny and informative! And wtf-y.

Lets just hope he doesn't shit the bed.

On a serious note, the men who are giving their lives to work on this disaster are heroes no matter if they stop or just stall the disaster. Best of luck Japan!

Good thing is, this can never spread radiation like Chernobyl. Worst case it will make a large area around the plant hazardous for the next 30 years.

AHMAHGAWD D: THE POOPOO IT GOES EVERYWHERE

*runs around like a japanese person seeing godzilla* GODZIRRA POOO D:

Thanks for sharing!

Just... a wee bit on the patronizing side, even for children. On the other hand, describing radiation as something stinky is probably the best you'd be able to do until they were closer to middle/high school. It's interesting that they address the whole "poo is too heavy to fly" thing, which is something I think most kids wouldn't even think about unless they'd heard it from an adult. And I doubt an adult is going to be soothed by cartoon actors telling them that the "poo is too heavy to fly".

Which is technically true, but doesn't explain the whole story.

It is a commendable attempt, at any rate. I don't see more stepping up to do better.

EVERYTHING! IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!

I...

Huh?

What they dont explain is the Nuclear boy farted, and shredded his diaper. Nobody has made a big enough diaper to put it on him without being able to give him medicine. So if he poos he will be just like chernobyl, if not worse.

Just remember kids, plugging your nose doesn't work, when it falls off.

that was...specal. Just wh at I needed to wonder why I got up this morning. Thanks ^^

Those crazy japanese find the best way of explaining things to kids

Wow, that's silly! But I guess it explains to young children in terms they can understand. :P

The mentioning of the 'doctors' (technicians) makes me wonder if the Japanese or others have thought to constructing robots for that sort of dangerous exposure. Those people are sacrificing their health and possibly lives for what they're doing. Brave souls.

man i thought my farts are bad. Nuclear boy's farts give you radiation poisoning. now that brings new meaning to silent but deadly.

=(

Poor Chernobyl Boy, he pooped everywhere!

thank you so much for sharing with the whole class :)
